Dream of a CLI Time Machine

The dream of a CLI Time Machine is still alive with httm.

httm prints the size, date and corresponding locations of available unique versions deduplicated by modify time and size of files residing on snapshots, but can also be used interactively to select and restore such files. httm might change the way you use snapshots because ZFS/btrfs aren’t designed for finding for unique file versions or the Time Machine concept because httm is very fast!.
